Ronan Coyle from Derry is set to play at one of golf's most iconic venues at a tournament in October.
Mr Coyle said keeping fit and active is incredibly important to him, as well as playing golf two-to-three times a week, he also cycles, swims and goes to the gym daily.
Introduced to the game by his golfing dad Terry when he was a child, he is now preparing play on the famous Brabazon course at the Belfry in Sutton Coldfield in England."I never thought I would be able to do that and the Belfry is an iconic golf course. Four Ryder Cups have been held there."At certain times of the day, such as early mornings and late evenings, Mr Coyle said his symptoms are at their worst and can impact his golf game dramatically.
"At times it can be a bit detrimental to my game. Certain times I'm out I just don't feel right, struggling with my balance to hit the shot. "There are times I walk in and can't complete the round, but generally it's ok, it's manageable, as long as I play at certain times of the day when I know I'm feeling my best.Looking ahead to next month's tournament he said the "most important thing is to have a good time, but it would be nice to win as well."More on this story
